Definitely a good post. I'm going through the same thing you are. It's my first season too. If you're anything like me, the anticipation of getting that first one under your belt is tough to bear. I didn't see anything my first few sits either. It was frustrating even though I knew not to expect to see something every time. You're keepin' it positive, though, which is great and you have a great outlook. Your post pretty much captures all the same feelings I've had since I began this adventure.
Glad to have a fellow newb on board. Here's to us connecting on our firsts (hopefully) this season !!
